So far Chromebook is not supported by Debian so there is no official way
of booting. If you want to have working easy way then go with nv-uboot way:

- Chromebook boots
- starts U-Boot from write protected SPI flash
- U-Boot displays white screen with info about developer mode
- U-Boot loads "nv" U-Boot from kernel partition
- "nv" U-Boot loads normal unsigned Linux kernel

Other way involves voiding warranty and flashing U-Boot into SPI flash
so steps 3/4 disappear.

If you want to boot into GRUB then you "only" need proper "nv" U-Boot.
